DEPLOYMENT GUIDE
Step C: Suture Lasso
Alternatively, the Suture Lasso may be used for tendon management in a blind or transosseous tunnel. Feed the rod end
of the Lasso through the Sheath, thread one suture strand through the Suture Lasso eyelet, and pull the suture strand
through the Sheath. The second suture strand should run along the outside of the Implant Sheath. Adjust the tendon so
that it rests in the compressed profile of the Sheath. Cleat the threads on the Suture Cleat and insert the Sheath and
tendon simultaneously into the bone tunnel.
Note: After deployment, remember to uncleat the sutures before releasing the Gun from the Implant.
STEP 4: POSITION THE IMPLANT
Refer to Sizing Guide on page 4 for selecting Implant size. Position the Sheath in the tunnel so that the compressed
profile is adjacent to the tendon. Manually advance the Sheath into the tunnel until the Sheath is 1 - 2 mm sub-flush. If
necessary, lightly mallet the metal Strike Plate on the Gun Knob to assist in advancing the Sheath into the bone tunnel.
Note: To prevent possible damage to the Implant, ensure the trajectory of the Sheath is aligned with the tunnel axis.
Note: If extensive malleting is required to advance the Sheath, increase the tunnel size by 0.5 - 1 mm.
